It's currently not possible to build the seamonkey-2.53.1-r1 ebuild on ppc64 (or arm). The reason is this code in mozcoreconf-v6.eclass: ---8<--- # Additional ARCH support case "${ARCH}" in arm | ppc64) # Reduce the memory requirements for linking if use clang ; then # Nothing to do :; elif tc-ld-is-gold; then append-ldflags -Wl,--no-keep-memory else append-ldflags -Wl,--no-keep-memory -Wl,--reduce-memory-overheads fi ;; ---8<--- Disregarding the fact that I have 128 GB RAM in my ppc64 machine and probably don't need to "Reduce the memory requirements for linking" at all, this code requires that 'clang' is in IUSE of tha actual ebuild, which it isn't in the case of seamonkey. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Try to emerge =www-client/seamonkey-2.53.1-r1 on ppc64 (or arm) 2. 3. Actual Results: * ERROR: www-client/seamonkey-2.53.1-r1::gentoo failed (configure phase): * USE Flag 'clang' not in IUSE for www-client/seamonkey-2.53.1-r1 * * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 125:

PLease let me know here if this bug is now fixed for you.
(In reply to Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) from comment #3) > PLease let me know here if this bug is now fixed for you. Yes, this issue is fixed. Thanks! However the build now errors out with: [...] ERROR: --disable-skia is not supported anymore *** Fix above errors and then restart with\ "make -f client.mk build" make: *** [client.mk:362: configure] Error 1 * ERROR: www-client/seamonkey-2.53.2::gentoo failed (configure phase): * emake failed
@ernsteiswuerfel That is an unrelated issue, please file a new bug.
